About this map

Lake Ontario shapes the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the sheltered waters of Little Sodus Bay and Blind Sodus Bay provide a distinct harbor geography. The village of Fair Haven serves as a central hub, flanked by the residential clusters of North Fair Haven and the more inland agricultural settlements of Sterling and Sterling Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic shoreline features like McIntyres Bluff and The Bluffs, while numerous smaller water bodies such as The Pond and Pond Hundred dot the lowlands between the glacial ridges.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through a series of rural burial grounds, including Livingston Cem, McArthur Cem, and Springbrook Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions into the crossroads of Fintches Corners and North Victory, showing how the local road network, including the Sterling Station Road, historically connected these farming communities to the lakefront commerce and rail corridors that defined the region's development.
